💖 ldns_init_random — a lil page from the ldns(3) library manual 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page out of the ldns(3) library functions manual, and honestly? it's a short one but it's iconic. we're talking about seeding the random function. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ldns_init_random — seed the random function 🎲✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's what you gotta pull in first, no skips:

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

#include <ldns/ldns.h>

 ldns_init_random();

(yes the ldns_init_random(); line really does start with a lil space, that's just how it's written, we don't question it 💅)

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ldns_init_random()

...and that's genuinely the entire description, bestie. the manpage said what it said. it's giving mystery, it's giving main character energy, it's giving "figure it out from the NAME section". the function is ldns_init_random(), and per the NAME section, its whole job is to seed the random function. periodt. 👑
